The Desert...a Time of Testing or a Place of Honeymoon With God?

Matthew 3:1-3

In those days there appeared John the Baptist, preaching in the Wilderness (Desert) of Judea

And saying, Repent think differently; change your mind, regretting your sins and changing your conduct), for 

The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand.

Isaiah 58 Ministries                                                        July 12, 2016
Pastor "Faith" (yes she was born with that name)
Scriptures: Mathew 3:1-3, Isaiah 40:3-4 , 1 John 1:7, Matthew 3:1-3, Ephesians 5:1-7, 25-28, Matthew 6:24, James 4:13-17
                                                      Jesus is our Desert
   
   We tend to think of the dessert as a bad thing. If so, why didn't God just lead the people right into the Promised land, kill all the evil inhabitants at one time and let them just live in peace? Why struggle for 40 years in the wilderness?
    Moses had to go into the dessert for 40 years. Jesus himself, in order to fulfill God's plan and purpose for his life had to go into the dessert for 40 days.
  
    It's a place of Honeymoon with God.  It isn't all about testing and temptation by the Devil.  After being Baptized by the Flood, Noah and his family, after being baptized by the Red Sea, the children of Israel  and after Jesus was baptized by John.

Each having time alone to just be with God. To get to know and trust each other as Husband and wife so they could be witnesses of God's love bringing forth fruit, Children. Multiplying.

   
Noah received the Rainbow as a marriage vow; Abraham received Circumcision a blood covenant, became the Father of nations and promised land for himself and his posterity, future family. Moses received the Ten Commandments and the Promised land. 
The water moved them. They had to move where God gave them land and children. 
   
 Jesus is the flood, the Red Sea, The Baptism, the Water that cleanses. This is why John said, you should be Baptizing me!

    Water cleanses.





     Jesus came to cleanse us from sin. He gets the world out of us.

Noah, Abraham, the children of Israel, The children of God: God takes into the dessert to spend time alone with them. In that time God takes the old ways out of us. Someone said: the 40 years in the dessert was to get Egypt out of Israel.  Slavery and worldliness.     

   We as a individuals as well as a family, had to go to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to get slavery and worldliness out of us. We were taught by God how to trust him everyday.  We started saying to each ourselves and to others: 

                                              "As the Lord Leads."
               



James 4:13-17Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

13 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city and spend a year there and carry on our business and make money.
14 Yet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of your life? You are [really] but a wisp of vapor (a puff of smoke, a mist) that is visible for a little while and then disappears [into thin air].
15 You ought instead to say, If the Lord is willing, we shall live and we shall do this or that [thing].
16 But as it is, you boast [falsely] in your presumption and your self-conceit. All such boasting is wrong.

 
     The Scripture shows men called out from slavery, the world's system,  and they all have to   go without land in a dessert to learn to trust God to provide as a husband provides for his wife and children.  Just as God has given man the job to keep his wife clean, holy, pure, and clean minded.
Ephesians 5 1.Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].
And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
But immorality (sexual vice) and all impurity of lustful, rich, wasteful living] or greediness must not even be named among you, as is fitting and proper among saints (God’s consecrated people).
Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God].
For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]—for he [in effect] is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless arguments [for these sins], for through these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience.
So do not associate or be sharers with them.
........

Ephesians 5:25-28Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,
26 So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,
27 That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].
28 Even so husbands should love their wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 
   
      As American's we have inherited a great blessing from God!

Our country is a gift from God.
America is a gift of free land from God.
 It's a gift from God who liberated you so 
you don't have to work for someone else but  
can own your own land and farm it!
The Gospel liberates and sets men free to 
trust God for everything. 
Don't let evil lead you, work for God, let everything you do, make plans, think, everything based on:
       The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
America's freedom is a gift from God to 
Farm! 
The whole Bible is about "Go Farm!"

America's Independenced rest on this scripture!
Repent and God will bless the works of your hands as you farm!!! 
All the blessings of Abraham are Go farm.  Go Farm!!! 
Enter the Promised Land, a gift from God! Spread the Good News! Stop whining and complaining
 about everyone who's done you wrong or others wrong.  Stop fighting and arguing debating, envy, and strife and tell everyone you know. 

     
      I found this on Amazon Prime" Volume 10 With all your Heart, Episode 5 With all your might: Final Test by Ray Vander Laan brought to you by Zondermans' and Focus of the Family. It pretty much sums up God's will for his People. It shows Moses leading people to the promised land and entering into the promised land by the power of God.

     Jesus is our Passover lamb, he sets us free from the world of slavery, he is the pillar in front of us going before us and he is our rear guard. Jesus is our bread, manna, he is our water, he is our protection, he is our Moses, He leads us to our promised land! Now Go Farm it!

Farming is the perfect life for anyone. Growing Vegetables, wheat, straw, animals etc...
Raising children is the perfect Holy, pure Life. 

We are not in the last days,  that is a deception of the devil.
This is why we do not have  Faith in God to fix the situation we are in. We are in a time of The Gospel being brought forth and advancing, conquering evil. 

      It is a Jubilee season, Men are going to receive their faith in God back, go back to the land, back to farm.

Most of us have been poisoned, chemically drugged, "forced", coerced into doctrines of demons. so it appears like it's the last days.
